Intention: A+

Presentation: F

Execution: F

Overall score: D-

In short, I think the OP wanted to inform us that, when traveling, forwarding all your incoming mobile calls to your skype account which then forwards your call to your local SIM card saves you a bundle of cash.

(Alternatively you can forward all calls to skype and use the skype mobile client on your phone).

Edit: clarification.

I hate Skype. All the idiots in the Internet cafes yelling ..HELLO HELLO HELLO?!?!

I have an online skype number and use call forwarding to my thai mobile all calls from australia are free.

I tried the same thing the OP suggested, but the quality is miserable and many calls don't even get through (mobile to mobile)

home mobile # --> home voip provider public network # --> thai mobile

strange enough, call quality when using my computer is OK.

Depending on traffic - bandwidth - same, same - sometimes even webcam conference calls are awsome, sometimes awful - that's life!

However my opinion is "skype roxz"!

The bad quality mobile to mobile is probably due to my VoIP provider using a leased bandwidth with too high compression and too many hubs on the way to Thailand.
